Armenian Americans across the U.S. will be closely following the Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearings for U.S. Ambassador to Armenia nominee Richard Hoagland, in hopes of gaining concrete insight into the exact nature of the State Department's policy of complicity in Armenian Genocide denial - particularly as it relates to the firing of the current U.S. Ambassador to Armenia, John Marshall Evans, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA). The hearing comes as Armenian American activists across the U.S. continue to call on Senators to demand a full explanation for the early recall of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Marshall Evans.

To remind, the recall of Amb. Evans was caused by his statement on the Armenian Genocide made February 19, 2005 at a meeting with the Armenian Diaspora in California. "Today I will call it the Armenian Genocide," Amb. Evans said.
